Description
Page 59 of an album of photographs either taken or collected by Roy Cecil Phillipps (later Squadron Leader R.C Phillipps MC & Bar DFC) when employed by the pastoralist firm Connor, Doherty & Durack Ltd in the Kimberley region of Western Australia from 1912 until his enlistment in the AIF in April 1915. The photographs were sent to his mother in Perth, Mrs Cecil R. Phillipps, who arranged them in an album and wrote the accompanying captions. Images are of: Two commercial postcards depicting prospectors in the Western Australian Goldfields, with Mrs Phillipps' handwritten caption "The same Charlie Webb who kept the Bulletin Hotel, the subject of Henry Lawson's versus. Lawson's prophecy, that 'the end will be the bailiff's in the Bulletin Hotel' came true, some years later"; and "Aboriginal Grave, N[orthern] T[erritory]" (see P08151.059.003)
